Mediterranean-influenced fine dining with unique charcoal oven dishes
"Tucked away on a residential square, this neighbourhood restaurant is warmly and personally run by a husband and wife team, and the unusual name is a nod to the old town green which once stood out front. The daily changing menu of North African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes involves a range of ingredients cooked over charcoal. The sourdough flatbread fresh from the oven kicks things off perfectly and the unfussy dishes deliver bold, well-defined flavours which are skilfully executed. The esoteric wine list champions organic and natural wines, while the lunch menu provides great value." - Michelin Inspector
"There’s a homely, slightly bohemian vibe to Pea Porridge, with its wooden furnishings and interesting artwork hung on exposed brick walls. The restaurant sits inside two cottages that date back to 1820 and formerly served as a bakery, with the original cast iron bread oven still in situ. The ‘Grizzly’ charcoal oven gets plenty of use across dishes that blend warming spices with a herby freshness. 3 Course À La Carte, Weds-Sat Dinner – £56.50 (average price) 3 Courses, Thurs-Sat Lunch – £45" - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"Dark Chocolate and Cardamom Mousse, Pistachio Custard, Visciola Cherries is a must for anyone needing an intense chocolate hit: the smooth mousse is topped with pistachios and carries a subtle cardamom edge, the cherries make a fine accompaniment, and the creamy pistachio custard creates a great contrast to the richness of the chocolate, with understated presentation but wow flavours." - MICHELIN Inspectors
